While the Raptors are categorizing his injury as a dislocation rather than a fracture, there's a chance that the hand issue might cause enough discomfort for Poeltl to be unavailable when the Raptors meet the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday.

Poeltl played for 15 minutes before being forced to leave, contributing 8 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists.

Adding to the Raptors' injury concerns, All-Star Scottie Barnes has been ruled out indefinitely due to a fractured hand suffered on Friday in their loss to the Golden State Warriors.
